I don't think that will happen. Since the 360 is based so much on the "hardcore" gamers buying and playing games, they'll play the First-Person Shooters while the rest of the family is in another room playing on the Wii.

Kinect will be a failure, or at least nowhere near successful as the Wii was/is.

The Wii is in a whole different league than Kinect, on so many different labvels. All you've probably heard was "The Kinect is just like the Wii because you move around while playing video games and that immediately makes it like the Wii and thus should be compared to it".

I find the Wii many times greater. With Kinect, the risk of hitting something is just increased due to your random flailing. The only up side is that the motions are less restrained and you won't send a white missle through your tv.

Actually one of the few TV shows I actually bother watching, "Good Game", had like an hour special on review Kinect games. Involving games like "Kinect Sports", and "Kinectamls", and a whole list of others I already forgot because they were all casual piles of faggotry and fad sapping that looked far too much like Wiisports in HD. I'm not saying it's ripping off the Wii because of the motion-sensor deal, but the games on it are far too familiar.

Sorry Anthony, that FPS joke about the Xbox 360 is gone out of date once you see these Kinect games. It looks more like a 12 year old girls DS collection.

Well I didn't think people would buy the most dull witted game I'd ever seen, Wiifit, but look how that went.


The world has more lame gamers than serious gamers, I think Kinect will sell well cause it's a new fad and people who love irl are all about fads right. If it does anywhere near as well as the Wii I'll be surprised though.

Well done, you just completely missed my point.

2.5 million sold before a month already passed.

The Kinect games are mostly *** but the Kinect is a fine piece of tech. There's no denying it.

I'm kind of doubtful, but I think there might be potential for something good making use of the no-controllers. It does look pretty responsive on some of the better games, maybe they could make a fighting game where you can do flying height ninja kicks and spaz out for compatible damage in the game.

I remember the EyeToy for PS2. I'd always use a washcloth or something to win all the games. Easy stuff.

Also, because of the lack of buttons, I often say that Kinect will be very limited in what it can do in some games. Because of no buttons, I genuinely think there will not be a single uncasual game that only uses Kinect (optional doesn't count).

Much of the uniqueness of the wii has been (figuratively) destroyed by Ps move and Kinect. Right?

Are there even games that use Move yet?

Wait, that's a silly question, I apologize.

Yeah I kind of have to agree with you Anthony, and I think it could cover all this stuff. No matter how ingenious developers get with this motion sensing, serious gamers are still going to favor sitting on their *** mashing little buttons. It's just the best way to play stuff and the most brain stimulating.

I mean if you watch someone playing Wii Sports or Kinect it's kind of funny, because it looks just as dull-witted as it actually is.

I do like how motion sensing is used in games like Twilight Princess though; Reservedly!

While we're talking about TP, I'll go out and say that although it was a great game, it really tried too hard to be like Ocarina of Time to please the older fans, and it had some newer elements to please the casual fans.

The two didn't really mix, and I honestly would have preferred a more simple art style over the actual one. Everyone had very complicated clothing like they came out of a newer Final Fantasy game.

Also, Wolf Link. It was a very interesting game mechanic, but had they made it so Wolf Link symbolized something or made Wolf Link more capable of doing things, playing as the Wolf would have been much more rewarding.



Oh wow, I thought this was the Gaming Discussion thread.

I thought the characters clothes looked cool and gave an enchanting feel to the whole place, but now you mention it the Wolf is kind of boring with like.. two ways to attack and really just overall a random way to compensate for Link being in the Twilight land.

And the Shadow Fighter things that came back if only one was left was very monotonous.

Only if you were terrible at fighting them just hold B to kill them all.

I loved the sacred grove music though.

I was just saying the controls were well done with the WiiMotes, like how you can swing to attack and shake to spin, but most of it was buttons.

Monotonous = repetitive

Twilight Princess had some very good music, yeah.

I played on the Game Cube because I didn't have a Wii when it was out. :(

I know what it means! Just saying it's not repetitive if you just kill them all.

This forums is now very much like how the General Gaming Discussion should be.. It was more to talk about the forums in particular actually instead of being a place for anything in depth people might want to talk about. I'd just like to say, it's very good to see this kind of discussion can be had in the Community forums, even if the people in them are pretty limited..

I was saying that there are too many of them and the fights are too boring to be fun.

"pretty limited"

what are you trying to say

Pretty limited, as in how many..

But enough to have good discussions, next step is to get a few interesting forums around here and it will be very good!

But my interests are different from those of everyone else!

ie. C++ programming etc.
